The correct answer is D. Algernon pokes fun at the fact that marriage in his society often is based on social rules, not romance.
The importance of being earnest was written by Oscar Wilde. Marriage is not taken into account throughout all the play. You can see that in Algernon's opinion of judgment. The essence of romance is uncertainty. This is ironic because, in the end, Algernon proposes to Cecily, which is completely opposite to his ideals.
